📋 Description

• Forbes Advisor is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Staff Writer to join our dynamic Enterprise team. This role is ideal for a journalist with a proven track record in business, enterprise, and franchise writing and reporting, who is passionate about delivering insightful and actionable content to a broad audience. As a Staff Writer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial decisions of our readers by producing comprehensive, accurate, and engaging content that covers a wide spectrum of business needs.
• The Enterprise team at Forbes Advisor delves into critical topics that drive business success, from essential large-scale software and services to more specialized areas like the intricacies of starting and managing a franchise. Your responsibilities will span the creation of various content formats, including in-depth how-to guides, comprehensive roundups, informative directory pages, meticulously researched best-of lists, and unbiased product reviews. You will be instrumental in helping businesses navigate complex markets and make informed choices.
• A key aspect of this role involves ensuring our content remains relevant and up-to-date. You will be responsible for updating existing stories with the latest information, market trends, and product developments, ensuring our readers always have access to the most current and reliable advice. This proactive approach to content maintenance is crucial for maintaining Forbes Advisor's reputation as a trusted source of financial guidance.
• You will also be tasked with conducting expert reviews, where you will meticulously dissect the pros and cons of various business products and services. This requires a deep understanding of the enterprise landscape and the ability to articulate complex features and benefits in a clear, concise, and accessible manner. Your reviews will empower readers to compare options and select the solutions that best fit their specific business requirements.
• Innovation and idea generation are highly valued. You will actively brainstorm and propose new story ideas, collaborating closely with your editors to develop and execute compelling content strategies. This includes identifying emerging trends, underserved topics, and unique angles that will resonate with our target audience and differentiate Forbes Advisor in the competitive media landscape.
• Data and SEO best practices are fundamental to our content creation process. You will leverage these tools and methodologies in your writing and reporting to ensure our content reaches the widest possible audience and ranks highly in search engine results. This involves understanding keyword research, on-page optimization, and content structure to maximize visibility and engagement.
• A significant part of your role will involve developing robust methodologies for rating and ranking related products and services. For instance, you might create a framework for evaluating and ranking the top 10 freight forwarding services, or a system for assessing customer data platforms. These methodologies will provide a transparent and credible basis for our best-of lists and product comparisons, building trust with our readership.
• As a representative of Forbes Advisor, you may be called upon to serve as a subject matter expert for public relations requests. This involves communicating our editorial stance and insights to external media outlets, further enhancing the brand's authority and reach.
• This position offers a unique opportunity to work in an environment that combines the agility and excitement of a startup with the stability and resources of a well-established company. You will be empowered to take ownership of your work, drive initiatives, and contribute to the growth of a leading financial media brand. If you are a self-starter, possess a strong journalistic ethic, and are eager to make a tangible impact, we encourage you to apply.
• The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of the business and enterprise space, demonstrating an ability to grasp complex concepts and translate them into accessible content. Experience with various content management systems and digital publishing tools is beneficial, as is a keen eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy in all aspects of your work. You should be comfortable working independently and as part of a collaborative team, adapting quickly to evolving priorities and strategies.
• We are looking for individuals who are not only talented writers but also strategic thinkers, capable of contributing to the overall editorial direction and success of the Enterprise section.
